Guest Designer at Sketch-N-Scrap

  Happy Valentine's Day! I am so happy to share my layout with you today. I was so excited to be asked to be the Guest Designer at Sketch-N-Scrap for the month of February and then came the sketch...... I am truly not a hearts and foo foo kinda girl. So my first thought was to stay true to the sketch but change out the heart to a star or maybe an octagon, possibly a sun.... Then I realized that the sketch would be on a post on the 14th. Yes, I had to embrace the hearts. Furthermore, I could certainly have stuck to my usual and used pictures of my grands with hearts, after all they have captured mine, but I decided to really depart from my norm and scrap a picture of me with my love. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He has truly overcome so much and is my hero, but he sadly doesn't make it on many pages because I don't like pictures of me. My daughter took this one and I used it as a profile pic on facebook. So I decided to actually put it on a page. I am so happy I did after 43 years he deserves it!
   Here is the sketch

And here is my take.....

I know isn't he a cutie!  I am so blessed!
  I used a total hodge podge of supplies on this layout. A real stash buster! The background is from Authentique Bliss and I also cut the title from the yellow paper in the same collection. The big heart is from Paper Issues in their free cut files section. Isn't it great!  I used bright colored tissue paper to fill it in for some fun.

The little puffy hearts are Shimelle the adorable big one is from Bella Blvd's Popsicles and Pandas collection! I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine on the background paper and then sprayed all my wood veneers with it. Loved using all the bright colors!

I even drug out a rarely used Fiskars heart punch. And that washi tape is still one of my favorites, I have no clue where I got it!

Thanks again to Sketch-N-Scrap for this opportunity!
 Thank you ever so much for stopping by to see me today, I so appreciate you viewing my page. I am thankful for the opportunity to share just a little of my life with you!
 I hope that your Valentine's Day will be filled with moments that make you feel special because you truly are.
